Gili Air Holiday Packages

This small resort had a family-run feel. The staff were very friendly and overall a great experience. The area is very quiet - don't expect any night life, other than the hotel bar / restaurant. The rooms were clean and pleasant, the beach was nice. The in-house dive shop was not doing much because of the big End-of-Ramadan festival, but the snorkelling gear and scuba equipment seemd to be in decent condition. This is definitely a family orientated place. The snorkelling at nearby islands (boat and equipment arranged by the hotel staff) was good. The pool was nice / clean. The staff are mostly Muslim, so they can't taste the cocktails (hence some strange interpretations of classics, heh). The "bacon" and "ham" is all actually beef (i.e. no pork), but it really didn't matter to us. We hired scooters (relatively expensive at 150k rupiah per day, for rather old / beat-up machines) and explored the environs. There are some amazing beaches for surfing thereabouts. The locals were universally friendly.

We loved our stay here with our young family with a 18mth old, 3 year old and a 4 year old. The gardens and grounds are beautiful and well maintained and the pool was always clean too. The rooms were great and comfortable. clean enough and serviced daily. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite with the lounge and kitchen area between 2 large rooms which was perfect for us. Overall excellent value for money and would definitely stay longer and stay again.

Very unique accommodation offer
